<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is a huge technological difference between Facebook and the current V2020 format that was created in 1993 and has not changed since that time. Babies have been born and competed high school since this format was created. In technology terms, that makes it a great great great grandmother. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is nothing you can do on Vision 2020 that cannot be done on Facebook, including looking up who said what and when. And there is lots of things that can be done on Facebook that cannot be done on Vision 2020; basically every interface feature that has been invented since 1993. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Contrary to your statement, it is harder to fake being someone else on Facebook than on Vision 2020. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What is inconvenient and annoying about Vision 2020 is that it is time consuming and technologically limiting because it has not been updated since 1993. </DIV>

<P class=yiv1377744026MsoNormal>I believe, that Vision 2020, that hasn't changed its low-tech format since 1994, which is both annoying and unnecessarily inconvenient to use by its subscribers, will be replaced by another Internet company or reputable company or organization that establishes such a forum on Facebook or similar network. </DIV></DIV>

<P class=yiv1377744026MsoNormal>Image a Vision 2020 that took only moments to skim through instead of opening and closing each email, or getting one at the end of the day after the conversation is over. You could post links, images, and information much more quickly. And perhaps the best things of all would be that people could not use your name in postings or false names to launch personal attacks against members of the community. </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=yiv1377744026MsoNormal> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=yiv1377744026MsoNormal>A Facebook account would be more meaningful and helpful to a community that wished to grow and be productive with its online networking. It would also be of better service to facilitate the purpose and mission of Vision 2020. </DIV></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=yiv1377744026MsoNormal>Vision 2020 will eventually be replaced, the question is how it will be replaced, and by what entity. I hope it is still First Step Internet. But I don't see it making any moves to save Vision 2020 and keep ownership of its own idea of an uncensored soap box forum to facilitate change in the Palouse Community. </DIV></DIV>
